Is it strange that we don't know at the time of this recording the causes of deaths for all these individuals?

I mean, again, there's, and what's difficult about it, there's some unidentified remains.

There are some, you know, the bodies that were found in a certain location, others in a different location.

But we don't quite know the circumstances surrounding their deaths, the causes of death,

the manner of death.

Is it strange?

We don't know that yet.

And when would that information be released?

Sadly, this is not surprising in situations where you have, you know, severely decomposed remains. So absence skeletal trauma

that would make, you know, the cause of death abundantly clear, you might not know, right? When,

you know, a body is recently deceased, your ability to make a more thorough examination is much

better. And the longer the time elapses between death and discovery, your ability

to conduct a thorough examination just, it just isn't there. And so when the remains are

skeletonized or, you know, closer to that state than they are at the time of death, your ability

to make that, you know, precise determination just isn't there.

So that's another challenge here because if you can't really determine cause, manner becomes difficult too.

Now, medical examiners face these challenges all the time. And so that's their area of expertise.

And so I defer to them and how they make those decisions.

But certainly as investigators, we have a role to play in supplying them with information

about the scene so that they can make the best decision possible because sometimes the

scene information is valuable to them in making those decisions. So very interesting. Again, no one is like making light of this. This is unusual,

but they do not have the information right now to call this a serial killer,
